Post-Storm Electrical Hazards

After any significant storm, your electrical system may have hidden damage. Watch for these danger signs.

Downed or Damaged Service Lines

If the power lines from the pole to your home are down or damaged, you need licensed electrical work before FPL will restore service. We repair weather heads and service entrances.

Water in Electrical Equipment

Flooding, even minimal water intrusion into panels, outlets, or equipment, can cause immediate short circuits or delayed corrosion failures. All affected equipment must be inspected.

Generator Back-Feed Issues

Improper portable generator connections during outages can create dangerous back-feed onto power lines or damage equipment when utility power returns.

Surge Damage from Lightning

Storm lightning can damage electronics, HVAC controls, and appliances even without direct strikes. Post-storm equipment failures often indicate surge damage.

Partial Power After Storm

If only some circuits work after power restoration, you may have internal electrical damage from the storm or utility issues that need professional diagnosis.

Burning Smell or Sparking

Any burning odor or visible sparking after a storm indicates active electrical damage that could cause fire. Shut off power immediately and call for emergency service.

Hurricane & Storm Electrical Repair in South Florida

Hurricane season brings annual risk to South Florida electrical systems. Downed service lines, flooded panels, lightning damage, and wind-damaged equipment leave homes without power and facing serious safety hazards. Solomon Electric provides emergency storm damage electrical repair throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties, helping families restore safe power as quickly as possible.

Getting FPL Power Restored After Storm Damage

FPL cannot restore power to homes with damaged service entrances, weather heads, or meter bases—you need a licensed electrician first. We specialize in the repairs FPL requires: service entrance reconstruction, meter base replacement, and the inspection coordination needed for power reconnection. Our storm response team knows exactly what's needed to expedite your restoration.

Insurance Documentation for Storm Claims

Proper documentation protects your insurance claim. Solomon Electric photographs all storm damage, provides detailed damage assessments, and supplies repair estimates in formats insurance adjusters expect. We can work directly with your adjuster if helpful and ensure you receive complete documentation for claim support.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about our electrical services and availability.

If you see downed power lines, smell burning, see sparking, or suspect water in electrical equipment, don't touch anything—turn off your main breaker if safe to do so and call for emergency electrical service. Never approach downed lines or attempt repairs yourself. Call Solomon Electric for emergency assessment.
No. FPL will not restore power to homes with damaged weather heads, service entrances, or meter bases. You need a licensed electrician to repair this equipment and often need a passing inspection before FPL will reconnect service. We handle these repairs and coordinate with FPL.
Most policies cover storm-related electrical damage including service entrance repairs, panel damage, and surge-damaged equipment. Documentation is critical—we photograph all damage and provide detailed repair estimates for your insurance claim. Specific coverage varies by policy.
It depends. Some equipment can be dried, cleaned, and restored. However, panels and outlets that have been submerged typically need replacement—internal components corrode quickly even after drying. We assess each piece of equipment and recommend repair or replacement based on actual condition.
Emergency repairs to restore power often complete in one day. Full restoration of all damaged circuits and equipment may take longer depending on damage extent and material availability. After major hurricanes, material shortages can extend timelines—we maintain storm inventory to minimize delays.
Portable generators must be properly connected—never through standard outlets which cause dangerous back-feed. If you don't have a transfer switch, we can install one. For post-storm generator safety, keep generators outdoors (carbon monoxide kills), and don't operate in wet conditions.
